HIPASS J1441-62
is a dwarf irregular galaxy at α,δ(J2000) = 14:41:42.2,
-62:46:04.2 as measured from our ATCA HI data. The galaxy is located at low
Galactic latitude (l,b = 315.2 degr, -2.55 degr, AB = 4.9). Its
systemic velocity of vhel = 672 ± 8 km/s (Koribalski et al.
2004) and vLG = 461 km/s suggest an approximate Hubble distance
of 6.0 Mpc. No stellar counterpart is identified. Its nearest known neighbour
is the Circinus galaxy, ~4 degr away. Our ATCA data show a resolved HI
distribution and a regular velocity field (PA ~ 260 degr). We measure
FHI = 2.4 Jy km/s, within the uncertainty of the HIPASS
FHI (Koribalski et al. 2004), and derive MHI = 2.0
× 107 M☉.
